Baocheng's words are true. If Xi Boran hadn't been unable to bear the sinister and gloomy officialdom and resigned angrily, he would be a high official now.
Such people may not be Li Luo's comrades, but they are indeed worthy of respect. I just lament that the Dagan court is short-sighted, and such talents can only live in the mountains and fields, allowing those without talent and virtue to take over.
Xi Boran did not ask about Li Luo's origins. The Inspection Department had already been targeted by the public. Many officials in the Inspection Department did not use their real names when traveling to various states, only using nicknames to avoid causing trouble. Although Xi Boran was no longer in the officialdom, he still
We also know the secrets very well, so it’s good if we have a predestined relationship, but we don’t have to have a close friendship.
Xi Boran was knowledgeable and experienced, and his speech was even more interesting. He was much more suave than Li Luo. After a while, Bai Xinqing was better, and Xiao Xi's eyes were filled with stars, and her face was filled with admiration.
He looked at Xi Boran crazily.
Li Luo and Xi Boran are both people who have experienced the turmoil in the officialdom. Naturally, the small Yidi City will not notice it, but Bai Xinqing still has some worries, and always looks a little worried after every laugh. Xi Boran is kind.
Understanding and comforting, he said: "Miss Bai, you can rest assured. Since Brother Li has issued the inspection order, as long as Magistrate Yidi does not act stupidly, he will definitely know the depth of this. Not only will he not dare to cause trouble again in the future, but he will also
He also beats the people in the wine shop to avoid offending Brother Li's taboo. I don't believe that he can clean up the magistrate of Yidi City. After three years of clearing the county magistrate, he still has 100,000 snowflakes of silver. He is not afraid of losing his official position.
I’m afraid that the inspection department will take notice of me.”
Li Luo touched the tip of his nose and couldn't laugh or cry. Why did it sound like the inspection department had become a god of plague, and everyone was afraid of him.
Bai Xinqing felt relieved and thanked her softly. After three rounds of wine, the dishes were familiar with the five flavors. Their names had been changed a long time ago. Regardless of their age, one called him Brother Li and the other called Brother Xi. They became familiar with each other.
There were so many, but Xiao Xi couldn't stop laughing.
Xi Boran hit the festival and chanted: "In May, it snows in the Tianshan Mountains, and there are no flowers, only cold. I hear broken willows in the flute, but I have never seen the spring scenery. I fight with the golden drum at dawn, and hug the jade saddle at night. I would like to put the sword at my waist and kill the Loulan."
What a bohemian and talented man.
"Brother Li, are you on business in Hushangzhou this time?"
"No, just out for a walk."
Xi Boran's eyes lit up, and he leaned over and said, "That's great. Brother Li and I are very close to each other. It happens that there is a big event in Hushangzhou recently. If Brother Li has nothing else to do, why don't you and I go there together to join in the fun?
.”
"Haha, I am the imperial eagle dog. Brother Xi is proud of the mountains and forests. You and I are traveling the same way. Brother Xi won't be surprised."
"Brother Li, what you said is serious. There are good and bad people, and good and bad officials. How can we generalize it? I admire the man above your inspection department very much, and I wish I could regret seeing him."
Li Luo smiled slightly, became interested, and asked, "I wonder what's going on in Hushangzhou?"
"Hey, I also accidentally heard someone say that there is a Valley of Forgetfulness outside Jiuquan City. I heard that in ancient times, an immortal family brewed wine here. It was nourished by the spiritual energy, and the scenery was beautiful. It can be called a fairyland on earth. This time
It is said that someone held a banquet in Wangyou Valley to invite heroes from all over the world to participate in the grand event. This is actually a grand gathering in the Da Gan Wulin in recent years."
"Disputes in the Jianghu? Could it be that Brother Xi is also interested in this Jianghu?"
"To tell you the truth, since I resigned from office, I have been traveling around the world for many years, and my interest in this world far away from the royal power and government has greatly increased. I used to look down on it, thinking that they were just reckless people who used force to break the law and often caused trouble.
, It's just annoying. Later, after I took off my official clothes, walked a lot and saw a lot, I realized that it was just my partial view. It was really ridiculous to sit in a well and look at the sky in the past." Xi Boran paused and laughed.
He said, "I have composed a poem called "Xia Ke Xing Xing", so why don't you give me some comments from Brother Li?
"All ears."
"The wind is blowing in the rivers and lakes, and the moon is like frost.
The fallen leaves and flowers are flying in the west wind, and the warm wine cups are full of laughter.
The chivalrous bones stand up to the demons, and the murderous aura stirs up chaos.
Ninety thousand clouds gathered under the green sky, proud and commanding.
Laughing and talking, thirsty and drinking, the sky is split, love and hate are fleeting.
The sword energy is shocking, and the red blood is sacrificed to the flying sand!"
"Good words. Brother Xi's talent and learning are indeed extraordinary." Li Luocheng praised.
Xi Boran laughed heartily, not arrogantly, not self-effacing, just for fun and to make everyone laugh.
"To go too far, to go too far, how about talking about the Valley of Forgetfulness? Is Brother Li interested?"
Li Luo pondered for a moment. Li Luo had heard about the Wangyou Valley outside Jiuquan City for a long time. Indeed, as Xi Boran said, it is the most beautiful place in the entire Huzhang Prefecture. Whether on this trip, he was going to Dagan in Huahai, Youzhou.
Whether it's the military camp or crossing the Zhejiang River to Yinzhou and Wangyou Valley, it's easy to get there. It's a walk to the left and right, so it doesn't hurt to go outside Jiuquan City to see more.
Li Luo agreed, and Xi Boran was overjoyed. He toasted frequently and was very happy. Bai Xinqing was reluctant to leave, but he also knew that neither Li Luo nor Xi Boran could be retained by the small Yidi City.
I am reluctant to say goodbye, and when the time comes to finally say goodbye, I pity Xiao Xi and fear that she will be sad for a few days.
Li Luo bid farewell to Bai Xinqing and the two of them, and went to Jiuquan City with Xi Boran. Bai Xinqing and Xiao Xi said goodbye reluctantly. Xiao Xi burst into tears, not only saying goodbye, but also feeling sad to leave, and secretly looked at Xi Boran. Bai Xinqing and Li Luo
They looked at each other in silence, Xiao Xi's love was budding. Unexpectedly, Xi Boran, probably drunk, didn't notice Xiao Xi's bright and affectionate eyes, and said goodbye casually.
But this may be the best way. It is better to be sad for a while than to be worried and heartbroken all the time.
Xi Boran was in a high mood, and Li Luo didn't want to spoil Xi Boran's mood, so the three of them left the city while they were drunk. Li Luo went back to the inn, took the horse, and paid for the day's rent, but there was nothing in the room.
I didn't see it, so I left as soon as I said it. What I want is to be at ease.
Jiuquan City is north of Yidi, about 700 miles away.
Jiuquan City is the capital city of Hushan Prefecture. It is famous for its wine. People who rely on wine for a living account for more than 60% of the people in Jiuquan City. Among all businesses, wine making is the most important, and there are more than 100 large and small wineries.
, among which the three Bai Gongchi families are headed, known as the three nobles among wines. The word "noble" means that the status of these three families is noble, and the wines of these three aristocratic families are not cheap, and not just anyone can drink them if they want.
It is said that those who can afford to drink have a third meaning, that they are able to communicate with ghosts. As for the reason, Xi Boran doesn't quite understand.
Xi Boran was concerned about the rivers and lakes, and went straight to Wangyou Valley without passing the Jiuquan. Li Luo had no choice but to follow Xi Boran to Wangyou Valley.
Wangyou Valley is located among the peaks of the Western Mountains sixty miles outside Jiuquan City. It is a blessed place with beautiful scenery, sheltering wind and water. If you want to enter Wangyou Valley, you must first pass by Wangyou Lake. The lake is not big, and is only smaller than Zhangzhou Hancang.
The mirror water pool in the mansion is slightly more than 30%.
